Production information

Producer: Tenuta di Fessina

Production note

The wine is fermented in stainless steel for 8 to 10 days, macerated for 2 to 3 days with 2 to 3 pumpovers daily.

The world’s largest producer this year, Italy has been dubbed one of the main ‘winners’ of 2016, with the country enjoying slightly better growing conditions than its European counterparts. Despite being the biggest producer, Italy’s harvest is still down around 2%, while quality is generally good.

Rosé is too often dismissed as just a bit of fun. But there’s a whole lot of serious pink wine out there that deserves your attention. From pale salmon to nearly-red we take a look at the full spectrum of pinks and what to eat with them.

Generally, the outlook is positive for growers across Italy this year, with good rain in the early part of the season offset by blazing heat in July. Over the growing season, there was minimal stress to vines and following the 2014 vintage, many growers were glad to just have something to harvest.
